NASA/GSFC has a requirement for Axis rotation SRS-2000 Fiber Optic Sensor (gyroscopes) as follows: Parameter -Type 1Range of measured anqular rate, deg/sec - 40Bias drift at fixed temperature deg/h - <0.005Bias drift at changing temperature from -30C to -50C, deq/h -<0.05Scale factor repeatability, % - <0.01Bandwidth, Hz - >50Random walk, deg/ h - <0.0005Power supply - 5V0.25' Power consumption, W - <7Weiqht (net), kq - 1.7Dimensions, mm - 0250x45Output - RS485"Optional: from 18 to 36VOptional - RS232/RS422, Discrete - Unitary Code (Frequency is proportional to measured angular rate]

The requirement is for a set of very high precision gyroscopes for attitude determination for the Balloon Experimental Twin Telescope for Infrared Interferometry (BETTII). These gyroscope must provide two-axis (pitch and yaw) angular velocity measurements that will be integrated to determine position stability. The required bandwidth of measurement must be faster than 10 Hz, and ideally several times faster. The required positional stability is better than 0.1 arc seconds (0.5 micro radians) for times up to 10 seconds. In order to remain stable over this period, the angular random walk of the gyro must be below 0.004degrees per sqrt(hour) and the bias stability must be below 0.007 degrees per hour. 

The gyroscope must be solid-state and able to operate at low temperatures(-50 C) and without atmospheric pressure in a high altitude balloon environment. It must also output data in a standard data format (analog or digital) with the ability to trigger data acquisition and synchronize output data timing. This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Sub part 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. 

 This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, which is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ); quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.
